- Recommendations
At the outset, we would like to thank the COB for its financial support, which has enabled us to carry out these activities in the context of promoting ecumenical values.
It should be noted that young people like to be supervised and accompanied, which is why we need to offer them permanent spaces for communal and interfaith dialogue. However, the lack of financial resources remains a major challenge to organizing these kinds of activities with other young people in other parts of the city.
For this reason, we reiterate our wish to see church partners and agencies provide more support for these kinds of ecumenical activities, particularly in this country where the lack of understanding of religious diversity is becoming a cause of social conflict.
